With gold-metallic trim along springy geta-style platforms and the emerald-cut ruby crystals lining their satin straps, Marni’s platform sandals are the most winning example of two major spring runway trends: extreme embellishment and chic orthopedic sandals. With these, one gets to be fancy and comfortable all at once — so fancy and so comfortable that you hardly have to put much effort into the rest of your summer look. Simple cropped trousers and a tee, a long and loose midi-skirt, or a roomy sundress will all do just fine.
